Guest guest Posted April 25, 2002 Report Share Posted April 25, 2002 May 30 & 31, 2002 I will arive in washington DC (ON FOOT) from Wichester, va. At least I hope to still be standing. I have been talking (e-mail) to a couple of my Advocate buddies and I suggested that we should March on Washington. Others have done this and I believe this would get the message across. As I wrote to a few of my friends, " My insperation and drive comes from my son, my past, and a - now gone - back country Civil Rights lawyer that worked for meals a bed all over the south. He became a Supreme Court Judge. I do not assume that kind of place for me, However, I can do no less than he--if I truly believe in what I say " Justice Based on Fairness " and freedom to achive all that is possable for each individual. " I am disabled in many ways, more fortunet than many others, and worse than a few. I have Physical, psychological, neurolgical disabilities, if need be I will help push a wheel chair, but I challange all who are Advocates, disabled, parents of disabled, loved ones or friends of disabled to take a stand and make this country take notice. Some of our children and adults are treated worse than I was treated in the 1950's & 60's. We all (inculing me) have reasons not to be there, But we all have a big reason to be there: THE FUTURE OF All that experience Disabilities.
